Sponsors

The MetaBrainz Foundation wishes to offer a huge thank you to all of our
sponsors and partners for their support in helping MusicBrainz operate.

Some of the following organizations and individuals have provided funding,
others have supported us by providing access to tools and technologies that
have helped us grow. In either case they played a significant role in the
success and growth of MusicBrainz.

We would not exist without you — Thank You!

Sponsors

Google has been an extremely supportive
sponsor. They've donated over $320,000.

GitHub provides us with a free Bronze
account for hosting our sysadmin repositories.

Pipedrive provides us with a free
account to help keep track of commercial users and supporters.

Special thanks

In our past, we've had a lot of people support us with many different levels of support:
Access to conferences, covering travel expenses, large personal donations and countless
meals. These have become too numerous to list, but we wanted to note a few individuals
who have made a big difference for us.

Richard Jones of Last.fm fame donated $50,000 in 2010,
Sun Microsystems & Paul Lamere donated a database
server and O'Reilly Media gave MusicBrainz $500 to
start off a bank account for the project before the MetaBrainz Foundation existed.
Ed Cavazos periodically provides pro-bono
legal advice for the occasional Intellectual Property questions that MetaBrainz faces.
Dan Appleman provides
periodic help crafting contracts for licensing our data.
Digital West Networks Inc. was our main
hosting provider between 2006 and 2016 and gave us a discount because of our non-profit status.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make the MetaBrainz Foundation what it is today!
